Cajun Chicken Fritters Food

CRISPY CHICKEN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Drain chicken very well. I place mine in a colander to drain for several minutes then press down on the chicken with a heavy bowl.
• Roughly chop chicken. I like the chicken to be uniform in size for consistent texture in the fritters (aim for about 1/4 inch pieces). Chopping the chicken also prevents any stray bits from poking out of the crispy coating.
• Add chicken, egg, Dijon mustard, salt and spices to a mixing bowl then stir with a fork until well combined. Stir in 1/4 cup bread crumbs.
• Pour additional bread crumbs into a shallow bowl or pie plate (about a cup or so). Portion chicken mixture into six fritters. Shape each fritter into a tight little hockey puck then coat with additional bread crumbs.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, pan-fry chicken fritters on each side until golden brown and crispy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

CAJUN CHICKEN FRITTERS

Steps:

• For the Fritters: Heat chicken and broth in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat to simmering. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, turning occasionally, until chicken registers 150 to 155°F on an instant read thermometer, 10 to 14 minutes after stock comes to a boil. Transfer chicken to a plate and when cool enough to handle, finely shred using two forks. 2 Whisk flour, cornmeal, cajun seasoning, baking soda, cayenne, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl; set aside. 3 Whisk yolks, buttermilk, bell pepper, onion, parsley, butter, garlic, and Tabasco sauce in a large bowl until combined. Fold buttermilk mixture into dry mixture until just combined, then fold in chicken. 4 Place egg whites in clean, dry bowl of standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed to soft peaks. Gently fold into chicken mixture until just combined. 5 For the Chili Aioli: In small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, cayenne, and lime juice. Season to taste and serve with fritters. 6 To Cook the Fritters: Heat 6 tablespoons oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat to shimmering (see note). Drop 6 to 8 mounds of mixture into pan (about heaping tablespoon each), spacing about 1 inch apart. 7 Cook until both sides are golden brown and center is just set, about 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer fritters to a paper towel lined plate and season immediately with salt. Repeat until batter is used up, adding more oil as necessary. Serve hot.

CAJUN CHICKEN ONE-POT

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium heat, then add the chicken, season lightly and fry for 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally until just golden all over - no need to worry about it being cooked through at this stage.
• Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 mins more, then scatter over the Cajun-style seasoning and stir so the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Tip in the tomatoes, a quarter of a can of water and the stock cube. Stir, then bring to a simmer and cook for 5 mins.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for a minute less than pack instructions. Stir the cream into the chicken and continue to simmer gently. When the pasta is cooked, drain well and stir into chicken mixture. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce over a low heat for 2 mins, then stir in the parmesan and lemon juice, and cook for 1 min more. Serve the pasta straight from the pan, or tip into a large serving bowl. Scatter with parsley, if you like, and extra parmesan.
